"Initially M & M Milling was skeptical when dealing with Platten as it was slightly more expensive than our existing equipment but since the equipment was failing and causing us maintenance headaches we knew we needed a different solution. We are a custom toll processor for the bulk solids industry. We often encounter very difficult materials. When we started grinding Iron Oxide at one of our facilities, we quickly realized that a traditional rotary valve would not work for our pneumatic conveying system. After being referred to Platten, they helped us decide on an S-8 series valve.
"Our return on investment has been significant, and instead of replacing the complete valve, we now just replace internal wear parts. This saves us a great deal of time and costs associated with downtime and maintenance. Their customer service and equipment have exceeded our expectations and we love partnering with a US based manufacturer like ourselves."
